In Love with Beijing: Tiantan + Forbidden City + Yi He Yuan

Well, last post on my Beijing trip...

 

On 1/9, we planned and decided to visit the Temple of Heaven Beijijng, Tiantan 天坛. Sunny day but a bit chilly coz the falls wind is blewing quite strong. The Tiantan is quite pretty actually, but sorry guys i did not snap a lot of the scenery pic, most of them have me and my friends in it...

 

Welcome to Tiantan

 



Breath taking...

 



Spectacular huh the building?

 



The inner part

 



We left the Tiantan and went to another important historical places, The Forbidden City! Of course before entering the Forbidden City, tons of pics were shot with the Tian An Men 天安门...

 

Coming back to Forbidden City is like going back home... What the hell am i talking about? Lol... Before i came to Beijing, i purposely rushed and finish the whole Beauty At War 金枝慾孽貳... so i'm a bit crazy and totally exciting :P

My emperor, i'm back!!!

 



太和殿 Tai He Dian

 



The building is so magnificent

Love it

 



The fiercy lion as the guardian angel

 



储秀宫 Chu Xiu Gong

The most famous place i think everyone know

This place is actually where Chi Xi Empress 慈禧太后 stayed

 



We spends hours inside the Forbidden City

Until the sun goes down...

The dinner is just delicious

We ordered the salted steam fish again

Pork and some vege

 



This lamb soup is kinda heaty but its simply yummy

Yi He Yuan 颐合院 is on 2/9 itinerary... Yi He Yuan is fucking big and glamorous... we spend around 5 hours to walk the whole thing... well i'm not sure whether its the "whole" thing or what... i just know i can't feel my legs after these 5 hours walk...

From the far end we can see the entrance

 



The entrance

Super long staircase...

Best scenery ever!!!

Our last day in Bejing 3/9 if free and easy... means SHOPPING TIME!!! We spend our time in Sanlitun again... I bought a nice t shirt in Chocoolate :) i just love it so much~ After that i didnt find any suitable stuff to buy... unlike my friends, they really shop till they drop...

 

We were back to hotel few hours later for packing... our flight is at the night and we reach KL in 4am of 4/9... a day before my birthday... There's end of my Beijing trip...

In Love with Beijing: YongHe Lamasery + Hutongs + Sanlitun

Our next destination is The Hutong. I have always saw this in the magazines and tv programmes mentioning about the Hutong. Of course the design of our Lot 10's Hutong is also from here. So i will never in a million year miss this place.

All for this post, to be continue soon...

In Love with Beijing: Olympiad + Qianmen Street + Great Wall

Going to Beijing has been one of my dream since young, of course going to the Great Wall is definitely the biggest dream out of this. Total 4 of us departing on 28/8 1:10am with Air Asia X; but our flight was delayed because the plane was used to do some savious in Egypt or watsoever~

 

The flight was fucking delay for 3 hours which was very annoying... It was not really a big deal actually coz no matter its on time or delay, we will reach Beijing in the middle of night! But if this delay is 3 hours, we would have not need to booka hotel for our midnight sleep near the Beijing airport~ Its a waste of our money!!!

 

When the plane departed, for almost 2 hours we were tied in our seat because the weather is worst and the plane is shaking tremendously. I sat beside an Indonesian lady who all of my friends said she looks like 谢雪心!!! She was praying, closing her eyes and look so worry... And i was freaked out as well because of this, but luckily everything is ok and we reach Beijing safely.

 

29/8 we reached Wangfujing 王府井 where we will stationed throughout our journey in Beijing. Our hotel is "Super 8 Beijing Wangfujing" which is so convenient, very near to the train station, 7eleven nearby and a fruit shop just next to our hotel :) And i am so happy that i got to buy fruits and eat on a daily basis, good for digesting

 

First stop is to the Olympiad, Beijing National Stadium... Even though the Olympic in Beijing was 5 years ago (2008), but people is everywhere at there...

The Bird's Nest

 Beijing National Aquatics Center

 

 Look yummy? Not really~

After a few hours of hanging around the Olympiad, we went to shop/walk at the Qianmen Street. We thought there are a lot of thingy to buy but nope~ its kinda expensive... but the view is pretty enough for us to spend our night at~

 This is the Qianmen Street

 

 Starbucks :)

 

 Uniqlo, but its kinda expensive

 

Nice huh? in the middle of the street

We won't see this is KL

 Beijing roasted duck as dinner :P

 

 Oh this nice salted steam fish is so nice

 

 We saw the Tian An Men at night when we passed by

 

30/8 is the most important day of this whole trip~ BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO THE GREAT WALL!!!!!!!!!!! lol

 

It is suppose to be hot, all of us were on singlets and short pants and tons of sun protection lotion/oil of course lol~ Suprisingly it is not as that hot as it get, or maybe KL is hotter than here? hmmm...

 

The entrance Ba Da Ling

Sounds like Petaling, hehe

 

 Have this yummy beef noodle before we start

Oh finally, i'm so exciting 

 Look at the view, so nice and the weather is just good

 

 See how far we have go :)

 

 No fear on the stairs

KK mountain has trained me well ;)

 

 Going down is a bit scary coz its kinda steep

note: i'm inside this pic lol

 

 Bears!!!

They have these big bears at the entrance/exit of Ba Da Ling

 

After the Great Wall, there's still time for us to hang out in the city. We took the train and went to the Beijing city for some shopping :) We just full of energy lol

Beijing is just as jam as KL

 Enjoying aircon and some shopping
